I Wish I Was Your Mother — текст песни (mott the hoople)

(ian hunter)



I scream at you for sharing

n I curse you just for caring

I hate the clothes youre wearing, theyre so pretty

n I tell to not to see me

n I tell you not to feel me

n I make your life a drag, its such a pity



n I watch your warm glow palin

n I watch your sparkle fadin

As you realise youre failin, cos youre so good

Now I dont mean to upset you

But theres so much crime to get through

If only I could make it easier, then I would



Oh I wish I was your mother

I wish Id been your father

n then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

Played houses with your sisters

And wrestled with all your brothers

And then who knows

I might have felt a family for a while



Its no use me pretendin

You give and I do the spendin

Is there a happy ending, I dont think so

Cos even if we make it

Ill be too far out to take it

Youll have to try and shake it from my head



Oooooh I wish I was your mother

I wish Id been your father

n then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

Played houses with your sisters

And wrestled with all your brothers

And then who knows

I might have felt a family for a while
